Summary
Five hundred DWP jobs are relocating from Motherwell to Glasgow, sparking concern from the local MP who warns this move undermines devolution and hurts communities. While the government claims it’s about modernizing outdated, underused buildings and improving efficiency, the MP argues the loss of experienced staff — even without forced redundancies — will hurt both the department and the town. She’s appealed directly to the Prime Minister, urging him to keep services in Lanarkshire, especially since frontline Jobcentres remain unaffected. The DWP insists it’s prioritizing staff support through redeployment, but locals fear the symbolic and practical blow to their town.
